<h1>Welcome...</h1>

<p>
This is <b>gPapers</b>, the open-sourced, <a href="http://www.gnome.org/">Gnome based</a> digital library manager.
Think of it as an <a href="http://www.apple.com/itunes/">iTunes</a> for your PDFs.
</p>

<p>
I've written this mostly because my desk <a href="http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=961">looks like this</a>.
You read a lot during your PhD, and keeping printouts on your desk in a giant stack just doesn't scale.  Necessity is the mother of invention...
</p>

<h2>Download / Install</h2>
<p>I <i>highly</i> recommend <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/">Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon)</a>, as this program uses 
<a href="http://www.pygtk.org/">pygtk</a> v2.12 and the experimental branch of the very new 
<a href="https://code.launchpad.net/~poppler-python/poppler-python/poppler-0.6-experimental">python-poppler</a> library (which 
you have to compile yourself). If this doesn't scare you, click here:</p>

<h3>Updates</h3>
<p>There are no formal releases, just whatever is in subversion.  From your install directory, run: <code>svn update</code></p>
